New Delhi: After a BJP delegation met with President Ram Nath Kovind to demand a law mandating two-child policy in the country owing to the alarming rate of population increase, noted industrialist Sajjan Jindal on Friday made a public pitch for addressing the “ticking time bomb” of population explosion.
In a series of tweets, Jindal wondered if sterilisation would “work” as also if “incentives/disincentives” would be effective in tackling the problem.
In a tweet he said: “#PopulationConcern is a ticking time bomb which is going to affect all of us in a deep and substantive manner if we collectively don't take corrective action immediately,” tagging the Prime Minister’s Office.
